Seneca RED 2022 - 28

Ms. Pasion never stopped pursuing her dream, but
the realities of the profession shook her confidence.
She credits Seneca with helping her get through those
Creating everlasting
moments for kids
Stephanie Pasion is 'moulding' a brighter future
rough patches.
" All of my professors were honest and encouraging, "
said Ms. Pasion. " They reminded me of my purpose in
this career - to take care of children. They were always
truthful about the hardships and prepared me with
their own experience. Their advice keeps me strong
when the bad days come. "
One way Ms. Pasion deals with stress is through
STEPHANIE PASION always wanted to work with children
and she's been building her career since her studies
began at Seneca.
" I've always wanted to positively influence a child
the way my teachers influenced me, " said Ms. Pasion.
" That's why I chose to pursue my dream at Seneca and
create a space where encouragement, confidence and
love can grow for a child. "
Ms. Pasion continues to build on her Seneca
credentials. She earned a diploma in Early Childhood
Education in 2016 and a graduate certificate in Autism
and Behavioural Science in 2018. She's now completing
the Child Development honours degree program.
These programs have helped her gain work experience
and provided her with support from knowledgeable
professors along the way, who inspired her to make
a difference in children's lives. As she completes her
degree, Ms. Pasion is working with children with
exceptionalities, including some on the autism spectrum.
" Part of my job is to create everlasting moments for
kids, " she said. " Conversations in the hallway and oneon-one
help in the classroom go a long way. But it's not
an easy ride, especially with the pandemic, staffing
shortages and regular bumps in the road. "
working with clay - something she first did with a
group of preschoolers. She liked it so much a small
business called Clay Creates followed, where Ms.
Pasion sells her unique earrings, jewelry dishes and
small, décor items.
And because she was inspired by the preschoolers,
Ms. Pasion decided she wanted her company to help
children too, so a portion of every sale goes to SickKids.
" Every day is meaningful when you work with kids. "
